To the Lorden Family: I started working at John Crane in 1973 and went to work for your Dad as his secretary in the Hydraulic Packing Division in late 1973. He was a wonderful boss and friend. My husband and myself became friends outside of Crane and shared several dinners together. God Bless you all during this very sad time. Gail & Jim Selzer
